About AAI

The American Antitrust Institute is an independent, nonprofit organization devoted to promoting competition that protects consumers, businesses, and society. We serve the public through research, education, and advocacy on the benefits of competition and the use of antitrust enforcement as a vital component of national and international competition policy.

The American Antitrust Institute (AAI) filed an amicus brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to deny “public entities” a special right to an immediate, automatic appeal whenever they lose a motion claiming they are exempt from Sherman Act liability under the state-action doctrine. AAI argues that allowing an automatic appeal would significantly burden antitrust plaintiffs and the judicial system and is not warranted under the law.
